High capacity mags?

[imarangemaster]

I am retired California LEO. I was also an FFL for 25 years. I had a 1990 AWB registered AR and AK. I eventually sold the weapons but kept the mags. I had Carbines, VZ58 builds, and all sorts of high cap and their mags that were not covered by the initial ban. I NEVER sold magazines off, as you never know... It proved right because in 2000 they closed the door. Fortunately I still had boxes and boxes of assorted pre-ban (M14, M1 carbine, Uzi, Mini 14, mini-30, Browning HP, AR, AK, VZ, Para Ord, and more) mags accumulated as a dealer and in the gunshow days. I moved from the state in 2007, eventually to Mississippi. I did check the statute, and with DOJ, and both say sincer I possessed those mags before the ban and lived in California before the ban with the mags, I may bring them back in. IT IS NOT IMPORTATION, BECAUSE THEY WERE HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE. I wanted to make sure, because in a year or two I am moving from Mississippi to our retirement home on the southern Oregon coast. With kids and grandkids living in So.Cal, I will be spending lots of time there. My Glock 19 and CZ82 I carry have preban high caps. My 19 I carried as a duty gun and the CZ (actually an 83 -same gun but .380, I later sold it and kept the mags and upgraded to the 9x18 82) I carried as an off duty. My OLL AR I opted to put a bullet button on and use 10 rounders. Its a retro SP1 clone, and it looked funny with a MMG. Muy Saiga AK and VZ58 I put Kydex paddle on from Solar tactical to make them featureles (they have fixed stocks with brakes on them). I have my preban high caps for those (old mil-surp metal ones). One time where planning head paid off!

I realize that I forgot to address an issue I had with a parts replacement on a magazine: I carried a Glock 19 as a duty weapon. At the range, one of my LE only mags was run over, deforming the body. I asked DOJ, and they said I could replace the defective part (body) as long as the floor pate, spring, and follower were original. I go a mag body from Brownels (a Scheerer, but it works), and was good to go. They had no problem shipping to california a mag body as a replacement part. I kept the squashed mag body, just in case...

I wonder what orifice DOJ pulled those rules from. I know of nowhere that it says you can only replace the body. These people make stuff up as they go.

I'm sure you are right! All that matters is I FIXED my damaged mag!

Yes they do. We called them on a question and five of us got five answers.

That was the point.
Alison was a very well-known FUD-spreader.
Gene posted and actively hosts the letter because it is the ONLY thing we have in writing from the DOJ that says that rebuilding magazines is legal and does not constitute "manufacture"

And of course, in typical Alison style, the letter then falls into FUD with her offering cop outs, assigning responsibility to the 58 DAs, and implying that things are illegal, even to the point of implying that constructive possession applies to magazine parts... but she has no legal basis to say that they actually ARE illegal, so she doesn't.
She sees Gene attempting to peek through a door, and she's jamming a chair under the doorknob.

BTW: Gene's got mail.
More information will be revealed tonight.

This entire thread is going to be a moot point very, very soon.
